Sciatic pain, also known as sciatia is a common condition associated with pain, numbness or tingling down a leg. It stems from irritation to nerves that exit the lumbar spine and sacral regions, or can be due to compression from the piriformis muscle as it travels down along the hip joint and soft tissue. Our chiropractic neurology approach is highly successful treating sciatic condtiions. 

Is Chiropractic Neurology right for my sciatic pain? 

As Chiropractic Neurologists, we are leading experts in sciatic pain, spinal and orthopedic conditions. Our post-doctoral neurology education allows us to diagnose the true source of your sciatica. Our greater understanding of how your muscles, joints, nerves, and brain interact to form normal function enables us to locate the roots of dysfunction and design a specific treatment plan to eliminate your symptoms for good. 

We incorporate a deep understanding of the spine, muscles, and nerves into all of our diagnosis and treatment by not only the addressing the physical components of joints and muscles, but also their relationship with the neurological system. This greater understanding of neurology within the entirity of the body and brain allows us to restore function from the simplest to the most complex sciatic and spinal disorders and symptoms. By utilizing the most effective, scientifically proven treatments we're able to enhance joint mobility, restore nerve signaling, reduce muscle tension, and create accurate brain mapping that is essential for normal, symptom-free lower back and sciatic function.  

Our treatment approach is more than just adjusting your spine, we incorporate a comprehensive approach combining chiropractic, physical rehab and neurology with aspects of stretching, strengthening, electrical muscle stimulation, active muscle release, percussor muscle therapy, disc decompression, graston therapy, neurological rehabilitation and taping, depending on your condition and particular needs. We reintegrate function and health at every level of lower back dysfunction, restoring optimal health at the root source of your pain. 

Our diagnosis and treatment fits every complexity of sciatica, from piriformis strains to complex spinal conditions. Our extensive post-doctoral neurology training is interwoven into the deep fabric of our treatments. We specialize in treating difficult and complex cases, often having failed other treatments. Our chiropractic neurology approach locates the root cause, looking in depth at all systems and their interactions through the complexities of the nervous system. Once we have located the problem(s), we then create a specific treatment plan to address and restore function to all of the involved structures and connections, creating complete restoration for the individual as symptoms abate.
